Population pressure on scenic resources

High population densities in areas of high scenic value impact negatively on the development of tourism potential in those areas.

The areas of high scenic value and high population density represent the greatest challenge to environmentalists. It is evident that large areas of average to high scenic value coincide with areas of high population densities, creating enormous challenges for the tourism development industry in those areas.
